Would you say the Desert Eagle is an impractical gun?

I know that it's not practical but I still want it. I want a gun that can make a mugger crap his pants. I've shot 9mms and they'er too common to me. I'm getting a matte black .50 with an extended mag and a shoulder holster. I wanna know what you all think. kinda like "Hot or Not"

Not hot. Every time i see an idiot with a .50 deagle, i can't help but laugh at the stupidity.

First and foremost, you don't buy a gun for looks, you buy it for function. It's better to have something that would lay a mugger out rather than just making him crap his pants.

A .50 deagle is HEAVY and LARGE. This prompts two problems: it takes a large amount of arm strength to hold a heavier gun stable and aim accurately, meaning at any distance you're going to be less accurate. Since I shoot shotgun shells at 25 feet with my ruger .40, trust me on this one. Second a large gun is slow to draw and slow to move. The amount of inertia means your reaction time will be sluggish. It also makes your draw from a holster longer, meaning it takes you that much longer to get the thing out.

Further, a .50 is a HUGE bullet. It's too much power to safely fire at a target in a panic situation, and so it endangers people around you. It also kicks like a beast, meaning that it takes you longer to bring the pistol back in line for a follow up shot on target. In other words, I could put 3 accurate shots on target in the time it takes for you to even line up for taking a second shot.

Finally, expense: because the deagle is more or less an amatuer's toy (and no, we don't commonly use them in the military), they're expensive as hell. The ammo costs a fortune too.

Go out and buy a ruger .40, ruger SR9, glock .40 or a 1911 .45, ALL of those would be FAR better weapon choices.

anyone else on here own a scandium s&w j frame .357?

I just purchased a .357 mag s&w j frame model 360. I was really curious how other owners felt about this awesome little gun . I'm going to use it for concealed carry. i'll use 38+p's at the range and 125 gr. .357 magnum loads for carry . i've actually shot derrringers with .357 mag so i'm not really worried about it. s&w tells me the gun will take .357 mag all day long with out a care. i've already got a hogue monogrip installed- feels great - and the trigger action is really awesome. any ideas on synthetic concealed holsters starting with shoulder carry. curious to know what other owners feel about their scandiums after a while of use . i hear reliability is also great with these guns. any info greatly appreciated-thanx!!!!!

I kind of like the web of my shooting hand the way it is and not calloused or blistered. But thanks for asking.

Many thanks for reading our Gun Holster Mag article
